Eros visited Psyche every night with the condition that she would never look at how he looked physically. Psyche was fine with it. She loved him and was taken good care of by him. So, she continued to live in his castle and enjoy the gardens that he gave her.

Psyche's two sisters were, however, jealous and incited her into taking a look at her lover. She did see Eros and this is when the castle and the gardens just vanished. Cupid deserted her.
